Milan star Beckham 'doesn't want to go back to Los Angeles'

David Beckham's lawyers are looking at ways to get out of his Los Angeles Galaxy contract, it has been claimed in Italy.

The England midfielder is due to return to the MLS side at the end of the season following a successful loan spell with AC Milan, but would then join up with Italians again in the January transfer window if everything goes to plan.

However, the Gazzetta dello Sport says his camp are studying ways of getting out of his contract early so that he doesn't miss the first half of the season with Milan.

Despite the claims, Beckham told the newspaper: 'There is no possibility of returning to Italy before the end of the year.'

Beckham is contracted to the MLS side until 2011, but there is an opportunity to walk away from his American adventure at the end of the current season, in November.

Leaving any earlier is likely to incur a costly financial penalty.

The 34-year-old wants to be in the best possible shape to contend for a place in Fabio Capello's England World Cup squad next summer and is said to be concerned about missing pre-season and Champions League games with Milan.
